Description
### Request Overview
I don't know why, but the test explorer UI provided by CMake Tools shows the full path to the project root. Not only is this information largely not useful, but it artificially widens the UI, pushing the run/debug/coverage hover buttons outside the bounds of the test UI for those with horizontal scrollbars enabled. Please remove this bit of clutter to make the interface more ergonomic.

Research direction
Start by locating the CMake Tools test explorer UI implementation and inspect how the project root path is displayed in test entries. Compare the current layout with the attached screenshots; done means the path is omitted and the run, debug, and coverage controls remain accessible without unnecessary horizontal width.
